I was [and still am] looking for a place to live in the town that I'm [hopefully] going to live for the next couple of years. I was talking with one of my potential roommates-to-be about why I cannot wire transfer money to the US and also why I cannot notarize a guarantor form for the house that I was applying for. My country is very weird in many aspects. Explaining these strange situations/conditions that I'm trapped in is sometimes difficult.
